Hi All,

It is difficult to understand why the following example happens more ofter than it should, but hey this is a public forum after all, and someone may have a logical answer.

There is nothing worse than playing in team battlemode, when people join the game to one particular colour only. This may result in a situation whereby you have 5 players in one side and 1 player on the other. Please note that I am excluding bots from this example. I try to understand as to why this happens. Do people join the one colour because they want to see how you can obliterate someone, demoralised them, then look at the end of the game, as say well I killed 15 during that game, I must be achieving "god" status.

Everyone is guilty of this, but why do we do it. I am not saying that we all do it all the time, but think about it for a sec, think about maybe the earlier days when we first started playing this game. To say yeah we blew that person from here to other extreme of this galaxy. Do we feel safer in numbers, at the expense of the opposing team member leaving feeling somewhat... Confused... Frustrated... Etc....

But it still continues to happen. Sometimes logic wasn't supposed to make sense, sometimes there are those things, like the X-Files that are to always remain a mystery.

LOL :)

Errr, I'm not guilty of this.

Honestly, I've been an army of one for the Rabban vs Everybody rountine. Frankly, I found it challenging and I determined not to be bullied. The best part was still giving them a scrap. Obviously I didn't win, but they experienced more brain popping than they probably expected. In the meantime, it sharpened my skills. I often practice as home using the me vs. Many bots just to make it challeging anyway.

So, I guess people just like to be bullies from time to time.

I am usually the first one to switch sides in a team game...i enjoy a close game more than an ass beating...often I switch more than once per game...if I dont switch its because there is someone I dont wish to play with on the other team....i know what u mean lauryn....i'v played some TS games and eventually it is bolo and bots vs. 4 or 5 others....then IF they win all I hear is "I beat bolo!!!" yeah congrats on that...just remember I had to pass to HUM.

I usually prefer to join on the side of the underdog. Its just plain boring to beat the piss outa someone without a them standing a chance.

Sometimes I may join a game without refreshing the list first only to see others I wasn't aware of have already joined the same team. I will immediatley switch teams if the game is lopsided. If I make a team 1 man up I will sit until another opponent shows or unless the other team says to go ahead and play.

If a game is suddenly filling up it will sometimes happen that one team will have most of the players. I assume it is because of the same reason I said above... Didn't refresh the list first. Players usually shuffle around until all is equal though.

Hi All,

The worst part about writing this thread is that the people who should be reading this message don't participate in this forum, let alone visit the PTT website.

I'm definitely not guilty of this. I always let the comp choose my side for me.

Meh, I try to get blue if possible....dont know why though....but if the sides are to uneven I go whichever needs someone.
